Day 29 of my drabble-a-day challenge! Here is today’s drabble:
Moving With The Times
The coven met every full moon in St Matthew's church hall. They weren't church-goers, but the rent was very reasonable.
Janet had known That New One would be trouble, ever since she'd insisted there was no need to render fat from a child's corpse. Instead, she'd made them use the liquid from a can of chickpeas.
The flying ointment had come out perfectly fine, but that wasn't the point.
Then there'd been the eye of newt debacle.
Now That New One stood protectively in front of the black rabbit Janet had brought for sacrifice, arms out, determination in her eyes.
This story is for Jen. As well as being very supportive of my writing endeavours, Jen is a reliable source of excellent homemade cake. The cake (though you'd never know) is always vegan, and frequently involves quite improbable-sounding substitutions.
Now, I'm not saying Jen is a cakewitch. But I'm pretty sure any coven would not sacrifice bunnies on her watch.
